How ZKAS OTC works.

The site helps signed-in adults publish and match ZKAS buy and sell listings. It does not process payments, hold funds, provide escrow, guarantee delivery, or recover blockchain transfers.

1. Create your account

1. Sign in using the account button on the home page.
2. Choose a permanent public handle and enter your current Discord username. You can update it later from your account card.
3. Confirm that you are at least 18 and accept the community rules and trading risks.
4. Never enter a seed phrase, private key, wallet password, or other wallet secret.

2. Post a listing

1. Select Buy ZKAS if you want to pay KAS and receive ZKAS, or Sell ZKAS if you want to send ZKAS and receive KAS.
2. Enter an amount from 1,000 through 10,000,000 ZKAS and your proposed USD price per ZKAS.
3. Review the estimated KAS value. It is calculated from a current KAS/USD reference and is not a guaranteed exchange rate.
4. Accept the risk statement and submit the listing for moderator review.

You may have no more than three active listings, submit no more than five listings per day, and must wait at least 60 seconds between submissions.

3. Moderator review

A new listing remains private until a moderator approves it. The moderator can review the stored KAS/USD price, market source, price timestamp, and original calculated KAS value. Review may catch obvious spam, duplicates, prohibited content, or unreasonable errors. Approval only allows publication; it does not verify the trader, wallet ownership, available balance, or likelihood of payment.

4. Review the price and accept

1. Review the listing’s side, ZKAS amount, USD price, and original KAS snapshot.
2. Compare the separate current KAS estimate, which refreshes approximately every 30 seconds while the page is open.
3. Choose Accept at own risk only if you understand there is no escrow or recovery. The warning repeats the original and current estimates.
4. After matching, the maker and taker can see each other’s Discord usernames.
5. Contact the other participant independently and agree on the exact KAS amount before sharing a wallet address.

The original listing snapshot never changes. The current estimate may move with the KAS market. Neither value causes an automatic payment.

5. Verify before trading

• Confirm the person controls the same contact account shown by the site.
• Confirm whether each person is the buyer or seller and restate the amount and price.
• Compare wallet addresses through a second communication channel when possible.
• Check every address character and network before sending.
• Consider a small test transfer first. Never continue if pressured or if information changes.

6. Complete the trade independently

The matched participants decide between themselves who sends first, whether to use smaller installments, and when the exchange is complete. KAS and ZKAS transfers occur in the participants’ own wallets, outside this website. Either participant can fail to deliver; the current site cannot stop, reverse, refund, or recover a transfer.

7. Report suspicious activity

Use the listing’s Report button for suspected scams, impersonation, spam, harassment, or prohibited activity. Include useful facts but never include wallet secrets. A moderator may remove a listing or suspend an account, but cannot reverse a completed blockchain payment.

Future covenant protection

The project may add audited covenant settlement after the required production network and SilverScript capabilities are live and independently tested. Until that separate feature is deployed, every listing remains a direct, at-your-own-risk transaction.
